Sewing Your Crochet Teddy Bear Together

You are now ready to sew your crochet teddy bear together.

You should have the following components ready now:

1 head

1 body

2 arms

2 legs

Attach the head to the body first, using the tail of yarn from the head. Thread the yarn needle and sew through the back of the head and out of the chin. Then sew from the magic circle of the body outwards to secure the head tightly.

The arms should be attached next, lining them up so that they stretch forward the same amount to each side.

Sew through the shoulder into the ’neck’ portion of the body, leaving the bend in the arm facing upwards.

Finally sew through the tops of the legs into the lower portion of the bear’s body. Again making sure that they are extended the same amount at each side.

How To Make A Crochet Teddy Bear

Your crochet teddy bear is now complete!

After finishing the crochet bear shown in the photographs, I have begun work on another following the same pattern but in different yarn for my daughter.

This pattern will look most like the one pictured if you use the exact same brand of yarn, but any cotton yarn should give very similar results.

I hope you enjoy making your very own crochet teddy bear. Why not let us know how you got along in the comments section below, or share a photograph of your finished toy on my Facebook Page.

Hi Laura,
Instead of making a single crochet into each stitch, you slip stitch into each one a single time. It gives the impression of a bend to the arm.
The slip stitches do make the following round a bit fiddly in terms of getting your hook through, but you should manage to push it through each one with a bit of brute force!
If you are finding it hard to do, you can swap to a smaller hook just for those stitches in the following row to insert it more easily. Alternatively substitute the slip stitches for single crochets. The arm won’t have a bend in it, but I am sure it will still look lovely 🙂
Hope this helps!
Best wishes,
Lucy x
